Meeting overview

I was sitting in my room, eagerly anticipating today's Odyssey meeting, asking Kab over the phone why he was 15 minutes late, when Joel, Anthony and Brian barged in sleepily. Brian was enthusiastic about Google SketchUp, and made me install it so he could show us a model he had made of the "flagella" propulsion system idea. It looks like this:



Confused?
So are we.

So after a while, the coach came in and made us get down to business. Joel told us about his idea for a plot. It was really good, and we've modified it since and now it's better. Gold star for Joel!

Everyone had trouble understanding the specifics of the problem, but now that's all mostly worked out. We brainstormed a lot of stuff, and the results are too complicated for the general public, so they are not being released currently.

The basic plot is this:
Two superheroes (Joel and Kris) are watching TV, and on breaking news they see that a supervillain (Kab) and his sidekick (Elliott) have kidnapped 2 people and locked him up with a password. The supervillain announced the password, but he threw away most of the keys on the giant keyboard. So the two superheroes must find all the keys and rescue the victims (Anthony and Andy). There's going to be some superawesome fight scene at the end.

The next meeting is on December 2, and then on December 16. We decided on some jobs to do before the next meeting.
Elliott: keyboard
Brian: sign
Anthony: collect strawberry cartons, design pigeon thing
Joel: rough draft of script
Kab and Andy: maybe help with script
Kris: figure out colors for superhero costume
Everybody: generate more ideas for propulsion of the device

Bye bye for now. And here is a little note that I think will accompany every blog post. It is very important.

PLEASE DO NOT GIVE US ANY IDEAS ABOUT ANYTHING. WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE ANY IDEAS GENERATED OUTSIDE THE TEAM.
